Call for Papers

International Radar Symposium
- IRS 2011 -

September 7 - 9, 2011
Leipzig, Germany

Dear colleagues and friends,
With the International Radar Symposium 2011 (IRS 2011), the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and the German Institute of Navigation (DGON) continue the organisation of a very successful sequence of Radar Symposia, which started in 1998 in Munich, Germany. Due to the rapid development of technologies, radar technique is still an expanding technical and economical segment with practical applications both in the civil and military areas. The world-wide family of radar researchers and experts is quite small and it is always a pleasure to meet scientists, engineers and international experts to discuss new ideas, latest research results and future development. High-level presentations will allow each participant to get an in-depth view on the status of radar systems and components in all fields and aspects of current applications as well as on future research programmes and developments.Everyone from the worldwide radar family is cordially invited to attend
the International Radar Symposium 2011 in Leipzig, Germany.

The information about the conference can be found on www.irs-2011.de
